The Perks Of Being a Wallflower


The Perks of being a wallflower is by far the best Novel I've ever read. It's a novel written by 
Stephen Chbosky an American Novelist. I got this book when i was in Form 1 and i was going to my new college and my brother game me this book as a present . It was also my first novel to read. I was so excited. i used this novel to escapes my reality and to spend my few free time to finish this novel,  Other well-known Novel made by him are "Imaginary Friends" and he also take part in helping to recreate "The Beauty and The Beast". The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a Novel based on a one main protagonist named Charlie. There is also a movie based on this novel. If you kind a feel lazy to read than you can watch this movie. The movie was also good but some of the content kind a changed a bit. But it is still a great story, especially to teenagers that are going to phases. it will help a lot.

This Novel is a great novel for me because it teach me the value of friendship,family and main thing is that depression is not a joke. If we have problems sometime it is not okay to keep it to ourselves. Things can get worst and scary. And research founds that in a month more than 5345 people commit suicide and 90% of the are man. So be aware of what we did to people around us and help them if they need it.



It has been about 7 years but i still remember every detail of the story because we all that feeling when watching a movie and sometimes imagine that the character inside the movie is us in reality. We find the similarity in the movie and that's what made the movie great. For me is has some good and bad similarity of myself and maybe it can help all of you who are reading this.

.That's all for me this time.....
Thanks For Readind (>,<)
